    I think this might have been my least favorite of the Anne books when I first read it, unaccustomed as I was to the epistle style of literature. But this is another entry into the Anne series - Anne goes off to teach at a girls' school and must win the trust and friendship of the powerful family who runs things in her new town. Through various anecdotes - sometimes humorous, sometimes touching, always charming - Anne beguiles the time comprising her three year engagement to Gilbert.

Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind to begin a new job and a new chapter of her life away from Green Gables. Now she faces a new challenge: the Pringles. They're known as the royal family of Summerside--and they quickly let Anne know she is not the person they had wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she has great allies in the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty--and in their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne learns Summerside's strangest secrets, winning the support of the prickly Pringles becomes only the first of her delicious triumphs.
